QR Codes. Back when devices didn’t have full keyboards the QR code made sense. The only way that QR codes make sense to me now is in a geographical context.
I wholeheartedly concur: the most over-hyped things right now are QR/AR and I’ll add Google Plus to the list. Time will tell how the network effect pans out. There’s a lot of promise with AR, but the ideas and mobile hardware seem to be the bottlenecks.
I’d be interested to hear what people think is under-hyped.
I’m a huge fan of personalized experiences via geo-location using non-RFID technology. But, only folks in Asia and Europe are really doing anything with it.. Unfortunately.

Kim – Do you think personalized experiences via geo-location will eventually catch on more in North America? Or is it a cultural thing?
Augmented reality. So many bad executions that don’t live up to their potential. Still some great ones though.

Agree 100% on QR codes. When they’re on billboards… it’s just gotten ridiculous.
